White Birch Extract

A sugar derived ingredient known for its ability to restore hydration and nutrients to the dermis and epidermis layers of skin . This potent active increases skin elasticity levels and collagen production resulting in restored skin density, volume and thickness.

Peony Extract

Works synergistically with Activated C to facilitate the reversal of discoloration for skin clarity.

Glycerin

Plant-based Glycerin: A renowned skincare ingredient that works as a moisture magnet and pulls essential moisture into skin. It is highly compatible with skin and also creates a “reservoir effect”, enhancing the water-holding capacity of the skin and ultimately helping to provide skin elasticity and plumpness and facilitates epidermal barrier function. The glycerin used in this formula is plant-based and can be derived from sources including palm fruit, rapeseed and coconut.

How to Apply:
-Dispense a nickel-sized amount of the exfoliating cream into the palm of the hand
-Utilizing fingertips, gently apply to clean, damp skin in an upward and outward circular motion, avoiding the eye area
-Continue treatment for approximately 30 seconds, but no more than two minutes, to achieve desired effect
-Monitoring skin sensitivity closely, you may increase pressure slightly to enhance treatment results
-With eyes closed, rinse with cool water and gently pat dry
Kiehl’s Insider Tip:
For optimal results, use with the other formulas in the Clearly Corrective collection.

I no longer believed in the promises of any skin care products, until I tried THIS! I saw the Kiehls stores so many times in the malls, I just didn't stop by because I thought they look so simple, more like a drug store, than skincare/cosmetics.
I must say that this product shows its effects right after the water runs clear. I can see my face become super clear, smooth and I've never seen anything that could do this for my face, like NEVER before. My face feels so fresh and clean the whole night.
My skin tone noticeably improves after a few times using it, even and dewy. Love it so much!

I went through an entire container of this, and here's how I feel:
Pros:
- Super-rich lather: you only have to use a very small amount each time.
- Light but pleasant scent that is very similar to the Sisley Phyto-blanc cleanser.
- Non-invasive texture: you can use it as often as you want because it doesn't scrub off your skin too much. (A related "con" is listed below.)
Cons:
- Contains chemical microbeads that are not biodegradable (google "microbead" and it will tell you all about the problem!).
- Exfoliating power is weak, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you use it. If you use it as a daily cleanser, I suppose it's a good thing, but if you use it as a secondary exfoliator that you use once or twice a week like I did, you would need a stronger product.

This product seems pricy, but the tiniest bit goes a long way. I got this as a sample and it was love at first use. The product surprised me by how much it foamed up! It feels amazing to lather it into skin and is not harsh like so many other exfoliators. It smells wonderful--clean/hint of lavender--and cleanses skin like no other. After purchasing a tube and using it for less than a week I already have more even, glowing, softer skin. I have a history of breaking out and if anything this product helps keep break outs under wrap. Highly recommend this exfoliator. I never want to use another.

It's dazzling and feels like satin on the skin and absorbs beautifully. It makes me feel fresh and clean and even on my skin.
I just wish I could afford the cost.

I use a little each morning in the shower and noticed pretty quick effects. It really helps in the winter when my skin tends to get really dry. It removes all the dead skin and keeps my skin hydrated. The tube lasts a long time, too, since you only need a little at a time.

OK, So I have had problem skin for a long time. Always covering things up, acne scaring, you name it. I tried this and all of a sudden, people started saying, "your skin looks great! What did you do?" You don't realize how bad something in until you get so many complements when you 'fix' it! :) This is my everyday ritual. I absolutely could not live without it. I don't get sebaceous cysts anymore, I don't have big breakouts, and best of all, I think it is healing my skin. My actual skin TONE is brighter and more even. This is the first thing that I have found in years that has actually changed my skin, and I have used EVERYTHING from the dermatologists, plastic surgeons....like medical grade stuff. But THIS is what worked. 've been using it for a couple of years, now. Unbelievable. Must try!

Rated 4 out of 5 by CallMeBea New addition to the routine
Lovely texture, light scent, requires only a small amount to give a thorough exfoliation. I've been using every- other day and am pleased with results. I don't know that my dark spots have faded, but my skin feels fresh and looks more "awake" after use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KimLovesCC I love this stuff!
This exfoliator is amazing. It makes my skin so soft and bright. I use it daily as an cleanser. I'm not sure if I should but it seems to work well for me. I noticed an immediate difference in my complexion. I am African American and I have some dark spots on my cheeks. I can tell this will help diminish them. If you have acne/dark spots, use this along with Super Fluid SPF 50 to protect from the sun since your skin will be a tad more sensitive to UVA/UVB rays.
Only con is its a little expensive in my opinion. But a little goes a long way.
